Nonso Anozie (The Grey) is the latest to join the cast for the film adaptation of Orson Scott Card’s best-selling science-fiction novel, Ender’s Game.

The futuristic adventure, which is being directed by Gavin Hood (Academy Award winner Totsi) from a script he adapted, begins production in New Orleans this month, and follows a young strategist, Ender Wiggin (Asa Butterfield), who is drafted by the International Fleet to save the human race.

Anozie will play the character of Sergeant Dap, whilst Stevie Ray Dallimore (Joyful Noise) has been cast as Ender’s father John and Andrea Powell (The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2) will play Ender’s mother Theresa.

The three will also star opposite Harrison Ford, Ben Kingsley, Viola Davis, Hailee Steinfeld, and Abigail Breslin, and the film is set to be released on 29th March, 2013.
